2.   But this lady only makes three appearances, Diane.

3.   Little old ladies made Bicentennial quilts.

4.   On Monday the first lady made an appearance in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn.

5.   The ladies who lunch made a surprise reappearance at the International Home Furnishings Market, which opened here last Thursday and closes tomorrow.

6.   The Woodlawn tea ladies make us feel as though the Lewises could sweep into the room and greet their guests at any moment.

7.   Think of punch as the centerpiece, instead of the afterthought, and let the little lady make a statement at your soiree.
